Russia - Move orphanage away from polluted city
RUSSIA: Green activists have launched an international campaign to raise $300,000 to move an orphanage away from the center of one of the world's most polluted cities, Karabash. Due to pollution from a copper foundry, levels of mercury, lead and arsenic are 10 times over maximum limits, and all of the flora and fauna in a six-kilometer area have been killed off.
